Game Rules & How to Play Virginia Lottery Games

1. Bank a Million (The Famous "Tax-Paid" Jackpot)

Bank a Million is Virginia’s unique in-state jackpot game where the lottery pays state and federal taxes on the top prizes! For $2 per play, players pick 6 numbers from 1 to 40. In addition to the 6 winning numbers, a 7th Bonus Ball is drawn. Match all 6 main numbers to take home a top prize of $1,000,000 net after taxes (the Virginia Lottery pays the required tax withholding directly on your behalf). Drawings occur Wednesday and Saturday nights at 11:00 PM ET.

2. Powerball & Mega Millions (Multi-State Titans)

Virginia was one of the founding members of Mega Millions (originally The Big Game). In Powerball ($2 per ticket), pick 5 white balls (1-69) plus 1 red Powerball (1-26). In Mega Millions ($2 per ticket), pick 5 white balls (1-70) plus 1 gold Mega Ball (1-24). Add Power Play or Megaplier for $1 extra per play to multiply non-jackpot winnings up to 10x or double Match 5 prizes to $2,000,000 cash.

3. Millionaire for Life (Daily Annuity Game)

Drawn daily at 10:38 PM ET for $5 per play. Pick 5 numbers (1-58) and 1 Lucky Ball (1-4) to win the top prize of $1,000,000 a year for life (with a guaranteed 20-year minimum payout or cash option)! Second prize awards $50,000 a year for life.
